I actually enjoyed her novels.

I tried.

Overwrought characters, cliched dialogue, and over the top melodrama aren't my things.

Maybe it's because English wasn't her native tongue, but that didn't seem to bother Joseph Conrad.

Anyway, I think it's unwise to adopt any one person's philosophy as a whole, but she obviously did have keen insight into the conflict between those who wish to be free and those who wish to control.

It's just my opinion that she did not express those insights in a very artful way.

Many disagree, apparently. ;0)
